Bur1ed in Q won.

Last week Thursday afternoon, at
about O'Clock, q man named Frank
Kiinkcr was buried in a we'll about 3
miles south west of Fremont in this
township. The well had been dug
down about 60 feet, but about hall way
down bed Of sand had been struck
and q curb put in, and as the digging
proceeded the curb sank with it until
the top was 4 feet below the top level of
the sand, and at the time stated the
the sand caved in from the top and
completely buried the unfortunate man.
Efforts were promptly made TO rescue
him. and another curb was made and
sunk inside of the frs5 one, but reaching
above the sand and Mr.. Kay of Ere
mont was let down with a rope and
proceeded to dip no the sand with a
pan. When he had nearly reached Che
mans head the sand came rushing down
between the curbs aud barred him to
the hips, bnt by n superhuman effort
he eXtricated himself and sprang to a
timber eight feet above, q feat which it
would have been impossible for him to
have accomplished under ordinary cir
cumStances. The curb was then made
more safe and the excavation resumed g,
but the dead body was not recovered
until Saturday afternoon at O'Clock,
having been buried MP for fOrty-seVen
hours. In view of the fact that the dead
man had been the principal witness
against johnson in the Indiana town
ship shooting case, having testified that
Johnson offered him $500 to kill White,
It was thought by some that an inquest
should have been held. but when it was
known that the parties with him at the
time of his death were his friends it was
not deemed necessary. He had no
family except a son fourteen years old.

Many were killed outright. while others
wedged in among The broken cars were
slowly consumed By the flames. The

and they lie, burned and disfgured in
the snow beside the track Help was

1t is a fearful sight, and recalls the
Ashtabula horror of the winter of 1877.
An accident occurred in Wisconsin on

were run into by p train of cars and
killed or wounded. The reports for the

mishaps Of less Importance.
